Why the writers' strike messed up ROTF

That writers strike was a big *beep* you!" to the public. That's really all it was. They wanted more money for their work (by getting paid for digital content, among other things) and for what? Writers have gone down in quality, not up. It took a movie like THE ARTIST to prove that there's still quality writing out there, and it was a foreign film! All of these US based writers are *beep* their work is *beep* and it should be priced like *beep*

Sure, once in a while, a good story comes along and makes you take notice, but for the most part, it's retreads, "homages" and original ideas twisted to look like something else. And they went on strike for that? *beep* them.
